In Qin Mu's territory, the military and government are completely separated at present, and all the 100,000 troops in Huguang are out of production and hard training, and the generals are not allowed to interfere in local government affairs, and government officials are not allowed to interfere in military affairs, and Liu Boquan is responsible for the supply of military supplies. The division of labor between the parties is clear and organized.

Considering that there is no major threat to Huguang for the time being, and the state capital structure in the Jianghan Plain has also been initially constructed, Qin Mu divided Huguang into two and ordered Li Yuan to be in charge of government affairs north of Yuezhou, Zhuge Min to be in charge of south of Yuezhou, and Yang Shen to be in charge of coordinating the two. Shao Hua supervised the inspection department, rectified military discipline, and impeached unjudicial officials.

Qin Mu himself decided to take this opportunity to return to Ganzhou.

Because whether it is Huguang or Jiangxi, the north is a lake plain, the terrain is flat, it is difficult to rely on the danger of mountains and rivers, and in the future, under the powerful offensive of the Qing army, these places may not be able to defend.

Therefore, the importance of Gannan was not weakened by the acquisition of Huguang, and Qin Mu still regarded Gannan as his own Zuihou base that could not be abandoned.

At the beginning of Zhang Xianzhong's south, Qin Mu hurriedly led the army to the expedition, and almost didn't care about the place where Gannan lived, although he sent the most powerful Sima An back to operate, but Qin Mu was still not at ease, this is his own Zuihou fortress, it is necessary to go back and arrange it in person.

Yang Zhi is pregnant, it is not suitable to stay in Yuezhou, after her rise in Huguang Jiangxi, whether the general trend of the world will continue according to the original trajectory Qin Mu does not dare to guarantee, in the future, together with the war, Yuezhou is the frontier battlefield, how to leave a pregnant woman at the frontier? A dou almost exhausted Zhao Zilong, such a thing can't be repeated.

In order to make Yang Zhi suffer as little as possible about the bumpy journey, Qin Mu planned to take a boat from Yuezhou to Zhuzhou along the Xiangjiang River, then transfer to Pingxiang and Yuanzhou by land, and then change boats to go back to Ganzhou along the Ganjiang River after arriving at Linjiang Mansion.

In addition to the 200 guards on the river, there were also 2,000 elite horsemen on the shore, and a large number of secret agents and more than 10 patrol envoys from the Singles' House accompanied them. Qin Mu made such a big move, and worrying about his own safety was only secondary. The main thing is to clean up the officials along the way.

The new atmosphere of the "new dynasty" often represents many opportunities and fast promotion, so the officials of the new dynasty are generally full of enthusiasm and high efficiency.

On the other hand, however, since the various systems of the new dynasty are often not very sound, it is easy to exploit loopholes. Qin Mu knew that it was not enough to rely on official self-discipline alone, and it was very necessary to go back to Gannan this time and beat the officials in various places.

Moreover, Sima An followed Yang Tinglin for more than ten years, from the imperial court to the locality. He is very familiar with various systems and regulations. When Qin Mu went back this time, a very important point was to find Sima An, Tian Yimu and others to discuss with him, and according to the current actual situation, combined with some experience of later generations, he formulated a set of efficient, complete, and effective administrative systems.

Against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Qin Mu had already prepared for the worst, that is, to fight a protracted war, once it was really a long-term stalemate, a complete administrative system was even more important than an elite army.

Because there is no complete administrative system. It will be difficult for all kinds of military and political affairs to operate efficiently, politics to be clear, people's livelihood to develop, and it will be difficult to win the firm support of the people. In the end, the logistics supply can't keep up, no matter how elite the army is, can you make them hungry and empty hands to fight the enemy?

"Let the lady suffer, the lady is pregnant, and it will cause you to run around with your husband. I really don't want to go to my husband. On the boat going south, Qin Mu sat down on the soft couch with Yang Zhi in his arms, and the calligraphy, painting, piano and chess were arranged in the cabin. The incense was all removed, leaving only the red charcoal fire.

Yang Zhi's body is only more than a month, and the slender waist of Yang Liu is still weak, probably because of pregnancy, the skin on her face does not become dry due to the cold wind, but is more ruddy and pink, as if she can drip water with a slight pinch.

"What did the husband say? It was the concubine who dragged down her husband, and the concubine was reluctant to go. Only Dong Xiaowan accompanied her in the cabin, and Yang Zhi didn't have too many scruples, and leaned into Qin Mu's arms softly, her eyes full of affection.

Dong Xiaowan brought a satin women's cloak with white ground cloud water makeup, and carefully put it on for Yang Zhi, for fear that she would be cold. This time, Yun Qiaoer wants to stay in Yuezhou to guard her filial piety for her mother, Yang Zhi is pregnant, and she always needs to have someone to take care of her along the way, so Dong Xiaowan naturally has to follow.

There was a lot of wind today, there were waves on the lake, the hull of the boat was a little shaky, Yang Zhi was a little uncomfortable, and often wanted to vomit, Qin Mu hugged her distressedly, but she comforted Qin Mu in turn: "Don't worry, husband, the concubine is fine." ”

"Come, take your husband to sleep with you, and you'll be fine when you fall asleep."

Qin Mu hugged her and lay down, Yang Zhi was very obedient for the sake of the child, Dong Xiaowan immediately covered the two of them tightly with a quilt, Yang Zhi was tired of being in his arms, only revealing a pink face, she hesitated, but couldn't help but ask: "Husband, what are your plans to return to Ganzhou this time?" ”

Yang Zhi has always been very obedient to the duties of a woman's family, and she never talks much about military and political affairs, and suddenly she asks this question, which is nothing more than worrying about her father again.

"Don't worry, my father-in-law, I won't embarrass him, my mother, as the saying goes, husband and wife are concentric, and their strength is golden, this time I go back to Ganzhou, my father-in-law's side, I really hope that my mother can persuade me." The father-in-law is an honest official, and he is a rare capable member, and the husband wants Lu Daqi to recommend his father-in-law to Nanjing as an official, but the premise is that the father-in-law is willing to do it, otherwise the husband can only let him go back to his hometown to spend the rest of his life. ”

"Husband, the concubine must try her best to persuade her father, but the concubine is just a concubine"

"Lady, now that you are pregnant, your father-in-law will always be soft-hearted, it's really not good, the lady will first persuade her mother-in-law to hehe, for the husband suddenly feels a little"

Yang Zhi didn't have time to withdraw her hand, so she simply put her lips up and blocked the word "shameless" in his mouth.

"The concubine doesn't care what the husband does, the concubine only knows that the husband can make the people live a good life, and that's enough."

"Haha, it's a good daughter-in-law of my Qin family." Qin Mu was very happy and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

Referring to the Qin family, Yang Zhi suddenly asked, "Husband, is the ancestor of our Qin family a side branch of the Qin family in Zhongzhou, right?" ”

"When I was a child, I heard my mother mention it, but that was many generations ago, plus the genealogy is scattered, whether it is one of the Qin clans in Zhongzhou, there is really no way to confirm, and I don't want to touch the light of others."

"Husband, this is not a matter of dishonor, it's just that this ancestor worship is the top priority, how can the husband connect with his own ancestors" Yang Zhi said this, probably thinking that it was too heavy to talk about it, so he stopped.

Qin Mu was a little embarrassed, he had part of the memory of the original Qin Mu in his mind, but it was not complete, when he was in Jinling, he was out of the house again, and he didn't bring anything, as for the genealogy of the Qin family or something, he didn't think of it at that time, and he didn't know if there was one.

Yang Zhi's words are actually not excessive, these years the concept of clan is very strong, sacrificing ancestors, cultivating genealogy is the top priority of a clan, if a person's name is removed from the genealogy, or is driven out of the clan, it can often be regarded as the most severe punishment.

Like Qin Mu, who doesn't even know the origin of his ancestors, there are really not many in the entire Ming Dynasty. Qin Mu scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "In this way, Weifu will send an order to let Huang Lianshan check in Nanjing to see if Weifu's ancestor is really a side branch of the Qin clan in Zhongzhou." ”

Yang Zhi was almost choked, she was a young man and an old man, and she handled military and political affairs in an orderly and meticulous manner, and she really didn't know her ancestral origins.

When it comes to the Chungju Qin family, we have to mention a strange woman through the ages, she is brave and wise, good at riding and shooting, and has a good manner. In the 5,000-year history of China, she occupies many uniques.

She is the only one in Chinese history who was officially canonized as a female general by the emperor of the current dynasty.

She is the only woman in Chinese history who has been crowned a marquis by virtue of her real military exploits.

She is the only heroine in Chinese history who has been recorded in the official history alone.

She has accumulated contributions to the Damingzhu Guoguanglu Doctor, the Prince Taibao, the Prince Taifu, the Shaobao, the Sichuan Recruitment Envoy, the Zuodu Governor of the Chinese Army, the Zhendong General, the Sichuan General Commander, and the Loyal Marquis. And this series of officials, which does not penetrate any water, is won by her proud military exploits.

Her name is Qin Liangyu.

At this moment, this strange woman who has fought in Liaodong and has been prestigious over Yanyun and is now seventy years old is standing on the dangerous pass outside Kuizhou City, the cold north wind is blowing her pale white hair, the cold of the early morning has penetrated her cold armor, and her back is still straight, and her eyes are still firm.

Beside her were 3,000 disciple soldiers, and these disciples had a name that resounded all over the world: White Pole Soldiers.

At this moment, the three thousand white-pole soldiers all looked at the white-haired Qin Liangyu, while Qin Liangyu looked at the rebels who were like waves outside the dangerous pass.

Zhang Xianzhong came, and more than 200,000 rebels were like raging waves, camping for hundreds of miles, boundless.

A bloody battle will be inevitable. (To be continued......)
